Toy having flexible shell for launching projectiles

A toy for launching projectiles, the toy comprising:

• a flexible shell with a thin wall generally having a convex outer surface and a concave inner surface, the concave inner surface including a protrusion;
• a projectile mountable on the protrusion, wherein, when the projectile is mounted on the protrusion and the shell is inverted such that the convex outer surface becomes a concave surface and is thereafter dropped on a hard surface, the shell returns to its original non-inverted shape and the projectile separates from the shell and is discharged into the air;
• and
• a toy action figure of a length greater than the diameter of the shell, the toy action figure including a plurality of extensions such that the shell can be coupled to the outside of the toy action figure.

A toy for launching projectiles, the toy comprising:

• a flexible shell with a thin wall generally having a convex outer surface and a concave inner surface, the convex outer surface including a first protrusion and a plurality of claws, the concave inner surface including a second protrusion;
• and
• a first projectile releasably mounted on either the first protrusion or second protrusion, the first projectile when mounted on the second protrusion fitting tightly on the second protrusion due to the relative size of the second protrusion to the first projectile;
• wherein, when the first projectile is mounted on the first protrusion and the shell is inverted such that the convex outer surface becomes a concave surface, the plurality of claws grip the first projectile and thereafter, when the pressure is applied to the shell, the shell returns to its original non-inverted shape and the first projectile is discharged into the air and wherein, when the first projectile is mounted on the second protrusion and the shell is inverted such that the convex outer surface becomes a concave surface and is thereafter dropped on a hard surface, the shell returns to its original non-inverted shape and the first projectile remains attached to the shell and both the shell and the first projectile leap into the air attached.

A toy for launching projectiles, the toy comprising:

• a flexible launching device having a convex outer surface and a concave inner surface, the convex outer surface including a protrusion and a plurality of nibs;
• a projectile mountable on the protrusion wherein, when the projectile is mounted on the protrusion and the launching device is inverted such that the convex outer surface becomes a concave surface, the plurality of nibs grip the projectile and thereafter, when pressure is applied to the launching device, the launching device returns to its original non-inverted shape and the projectile is discharged;
• and
• a toy action figure including a plurality of extensions such that the launching device can be coupled to the toy action figure, the plurality of extensions including a first extension located on the rear of the head of the toy action figure and second and third extension located on the rear of each leg of the toy action figure.
